>>377778272
All I remember from that is octopus balls.

the GBA one was pretty cool

>>377778272
Where did the money come from to make Medabots look so good?

the animation, what the hell

>>377778272

>>377778463

Don't know, but I always loved how organic the first season looked, both the Medabots and the human character designs were very appealing to me, a bit minimalistic but still great.

Always loved Arcbeetle.

Is there some new nightly ritual when /v/ suddenly becomes /a/ or is that when everybody just stops pretending?

The GBA RPG is great, start there OP.

I wonder how the fuck did the studio managed to snag those guys to work on a marketing campaign disguised as an anime.

Ufortunately, even with some amazingly animated sequences, it still didn't blow up enough to make the rest of the series get localized, only the GBA games.

>>377779887
In this episode Imaishi drew a medabutt upskirt.

The GBA RPG, which is a remake of 2, is pretty good. AX is neat.

Pretty much all the others are stuck in Japan, with the numbered titles all being on GBC and 3DS. The first game had a translation in the works but I haven't heard anything about it in over a year. The most recent game, Medarot 9, currently has a translation in the works that seems to be making steady progress.

There are some fan translation projects, but I don't know if any of them are finished

>>377780572
They put them out yearly in the GBC days, like MMBN/SF or a Level-5 property, until sales plummeted to ubsustainable levels after 5 and the series went on hiatus after a couple GBA spin-offs and remakes. 2 actually broke a million in Japan though and the GBC era was generally pretty popular, like probably what is Sonic levels of popularity there. There was a 6 on the DS, but it wasn't numbered and 7 on 3DS totally retconned it. Those two both sold a couple hundred thousand units, 8 sold several ten thousand which was worse but still enough to make money for the budget, 9 sold like total shit due to fatigue and bankrupted one of the devs.

The 3DS games has had a whole lot of artstyle changes over each game. The last game the original character designer worked on was M6/DS. It's looks pretty different from his previous works, though

>>377781273
Did that one pandering to girls worked out for them? Looks like they need strike gold fast or they'll be gone for good.

>>377781780

>>377781948
So, is it safe to assume that Medabots is dead as fuck?

>>377782028
Yeah, sorry anon.

>>377781780
"Starting July 1st, 2016, Rocket Company will be no more. The Japanese publisher behind the Medarot games will be merged with its parent company Imagineer. The move is being made as Imagineer plans to transition its business to focus less on packaged software for dedicated gaming devices and more on games for smart phones/tablets. While the company will continue to release games on dedicated platforms, worsening market conditions will see fewer titles launch as they review their business strategy."
I think the company died already.

>>377781780
It did better than 9, but worse than the other two numbered 3DS games and the prior spin-off with the same action gameplay style, Dual.

I think they ought to just go on hiatus for a generation again and come back with a 10 down the road. Then start pacing out the releases better for stronger longevity.

Mad thanks for the webms, OP. Completely forgot how great the show looked

>>377778272
Medarot
MEDAROT
NOT MEDABOTS

>>377782102
Imagineer has always been the owner and still seems to be around, but shutting down Rocket makes it clear we won't see Medarot for a good time.

>>377782747
If only they were good at making those as well, because that looks like trash. They should give it to a developer who can either do good unique turn based battles, or good third person arena shooters.

Like, imagine Medarot with a gameplay similar to Virtual On, or Border Break.

>>377783070
I would play the shit out of that

i take it everyone dropped medabots S2 on the first episode like me (or never bothered to pick it up)?

I can't find webms on it, my guess is that since the studio behind season 2 wasn't the same as season 1, they didn't get all the good ass animators as well.

I remember watching it and liking it, but not as much as the first season, and I can't really remember if it also had the same bursts of amazing animation the original had.

For a good reason too. DS is seriously one of the most boring games I ever played, I couldn't beat it. Medarot 7 on the other hand kicks ass and is one of the better Medarot games I played.

>>377781608
I don't know what was up with the art style on DS but it looked horrendous.

Gameplay wise I think it was a step in the wrong direction, removing Medaforce and Medachange in favor of the combo system which I didn't really like. Plus, probably had the most un-fair final boss fight I had to deal with for a long while.

Medarot design is just bizzare. Not really bad but it feels different than the previous entries and there are almost no re-occouring medabots. If I had to compare it's like the jump from Gen1 Pokemon to Gen2 Pokemon.

Characters are really likeable and it's one of the prettier GBC games I played. It could have been a really fantastic game if it wasn't cut short. Seriously, due to budget issues or whatever the game abruptly ends and it feels like it. Imagine getting hit with the end-game dungeon when you don't even feel like you're halfway through the game.

Also had decent waifus.

>>377784134
I liked DS' art in-game, maybe it just grew on me, but in promotional material and the like it was definitely a fucking mess.

Don't get me wrong, It's still worth playing in every sense of the word. Even if the gameplay isn't as good as Medarot 4 it's still fun as fuck, and the story and characters are really fun until the game ends.

The only mainline game I think isn't worth playing so far is DS.

This design is nice, but a bit unbalanced. I think it would be better if the chest canon was a big shorter and the arm canons either gone or severely reduced in size to something like Metabee's. Their short height and general body plan makes those giant guns bolted onto them a bit weird looking. I still prefer the simplicity of Metabee's original design.
